CRAP !!
The gene that commercial producers bred into tomatoes to give them a uniform
color had the unintended consequence of destroying its flavor. This mutation
has been bred into almost all commercial American tomatoes.
Nonetheless, Americans continue buying blah tomatoes, to the tune of more
than 20 pounds per man, woman and child in 2017, according to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, making tomatoes the second most consumed produce
over — of course — potatoes.
Wild tomatoes have lots of flavor but they’re also tiny, around the size of
a pea. Humans began cultivating larger mutants of the wild variety, that
originated in South America.
